They are both expressions of the same drive, and the man who fails to fulfill this urge in one form or another is as guilty of escapism as the one who fails to occupy himself with the satisfaction of bodily needs.” Simply put, art is a necessity, however there is a lack of support for the arts. The text I have chosen, Americans for the Arts (americansforthearts.org), is a website dedicated to advancing the arts and providing opportunities for people in local communities to get involved in the arts in some form or fashion. By visiting the website, viewers are able to read articles about art in regards to it’s involvement in education, the economy, business, different communities, etc. …show more content…

Ultimately, the website is trying to raise awareness and appreciation for the arts. This text plays a vital role in arts advocacy, seeing how it is the main source of information for raising awareness and providing leadership opportunities and connections for advocates.

With that being said, I believe the Americans for the Arts website is effective because of it’s use of logos, ethos, pathos and rhetoric, it is easily accessible to its audience of stakeholders, and it is ultimately increasing awareness and appreciation for the

In the article, The Trouble with Coeducation: Mann and Women at Antioch, 1853-1860, Mann is viewed as the creator of one of the first coeducational colleges in the United States that promoted educational reform in women’s education. Women, who sought a liberal education, gathered from all over the country to attend Antioch College, but eventually, some became disenchanted as they felt limited in the subjects they could choose. Consequently, the women held demonstrations, demanded the right to speak in public about their cause, and fought against discrimination and inequality. Antioch College closed in 2008, as it had been poorly managed and went into debt; this is what I had read. However, Robin mentioned that it was not the first time Antioch

Understanding why this is, however, can be a bit difficult and cause many to question what value there is in art and why we dedicate so much time, effort, and money into it.

Art is used all around the world to express culture. The art forms created by different cultures are shared with one another, and this creates subcultures and links cultures together.
